View 2 Replieswhat I want to do is have several external movies, say movie01.swf, movie02.swf and movie3.swf and then have a main movie that pulls in all of those swf's and plays them, sounds simple but I haven't been able to find anyone trying to do the same thing
What I've tried to do is
loadMovie("movie01.swf", this);
loadMovie("movie02.swf", this);
loadMovie("movie03.swf", this);
but this'll just play the last movie over and over, I want a way to say something like loadMovie("movie01.swf", this); then when finished loadMovie("movie02.swf", this); etc etc ..

Using loadmovie I'm loading an external SWF on a different domain. Any property changes made to a movie clip in the loaded SWF don't show in a broswer. container.emc.loadMovie([URL]); Inside movieA is the movieclip "box". I don't want "box" to be visible so I've used container.emc.box._visible = false; All working fine at this point, when I preview the SWF from Flash (CS3) I see that box isn't visible. When I open the SWF in the browser, movieA is loaded but box is not set to invisible. This happens with all browsers or any publish settings I try.
View 1 RepliesI made a XML list on my main timeline. Is it possible to make these list like links and when I press each of the buttons, it will load a swf to the desired container area?
View 2 RepliesI am loading a swf file that is in the same location as the swf loading it. The loaded file is a movie clip with a dynamic text box
feedbackHolder_mc._x = 10feedbackHolder_mc._y = 10
feedbackHolder_mc.loadMovie("feedbackHolder.swf");feedback = "hello";feedbackHolder_mc.feedbackbox_mc.feedback_txt.htmlText = feedback
The text wont populate to Hello. But if I put this on a button click to change the text it works. Not sure what the issue is.I have even tried creating an empty clip into which to load the swf into despite the feedbackHolder_mc being empty.
I have two swfs. swf-1 is the user display. it calls loadmovie swf-2 - loadMovie([URL]); swf-2 has webservice that returns data to be displayed in swf-1 Everything works fine if I have swf-1 and swf-2 on the same [URL]. If swf-1 is on [URL] and swf-2 is on [URL] the dynamic text is not being displayed in swf1. I have the fonts embeded in the dynamic text field. The mc's that hold the dynamic text are being created (have a graphic that is visible), just not seeing the text.
View 4 RepliesI've a problem working on a project involving multiple language changes using the loadMovie function. Here's the setup: The project involves several pages, all of which are separate swfs. These are located on an existing website, so everything's already created (I'm just updating). On the pages are Static text fields. My task is to incorporate language buttons that when clicked, change the language. For example, the language buttons are English, German, Italian, French, Spanish. If I clicked the Italian button, all text fields change to Italian - and remain so until I click another button. The default language is English.
I changed the Static text fields to Dynamic text fields, gave each an instance name, and placed variables for each instance in a separate language swf (example: langEnglish.swf, langGerman.swf, langItalian.swf). The default language file - langEnglish.swf - is loaded in the first frame using the loadMovie function. When a language button is clicked, it loads a new language swf (they load into an empty movieclip, btw). Clicking the button also updates a variable called "language", so as to remember the current language. The ActionScript for the various variables in the language swfs looks like this:

View 3 RepliesIn a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't.

I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

my next experiments consist on loading a movie/ or gotoframe on a hyperlink with html text that i load from a .txt file.i mean this such type of html code
Code:
visit the site<a href="http://test.com" target="_self"><font color = "#FF9933"> for more info so basicly my intention is, to refer to a hyperlink but just go to a "frame" or load a movie. where you have in your FLA some more info about the site you are going to enter again, i am just experimenting with these things, it has no real purpose but it would be considered nice if it really could work.
(I previously posted this thread in Flash MX Forum but I think it should be here instead. Sorry) Funny behaviour...I'm trying to load an external MC containing dynamic text (MC-Clip.swf) to a MC empty holder (MCimport) within my main/parent movie. This piece of AS is attached to a button (to call the dyn. txt clip):
on (release){
_root.loadMovie ("MC-Clip.swf", "MCimport");
}
With this, the dynamic text gets loaded indeed... but Fullscreen into the parent movie, and not into MCimport (where it should be). Now... I don't understand why, but the thing is that if MC-Clip.swf contains just static text (and change accordingly the text properties to static text in the holder MC), it gets loaded in the right place (MCimport) within the main/parent movie. (?!??!) And this is the piece of AS attached to the button (to call the MC containing the static txt):

im trying to load an swf into another swf that has a variable in the text input field. Im a designer and not a programmer but I am using this tutorial to get started in loading a form with a variables in it.[URL]..
What im doing is trying to duplicate is the text box so that when i want to load new_box.swf (with a variable name "company") into main.swf into a movieclip with an instant name "loader." using this:
on (release) { loadMovie ("new_box.swf", "_root.form.loader");}
I can get the movie to load but it loses the variable "company" in the process and when i send the form it doesnt work. If i just keep it in the main timeline it works but not when i loadMovie.

View 3 RepliesI have a SWF file that is the first frame of the movie and it's only purpose is to load in another SWF and show text corresponding to the progress of download completion. When I test the movie (Simulate Download) it just simulates without showing my text with percentage complete. The only way I can get it to show, is if I add a button to click to make it show. How can I get it, so that when someone opens the movie, it will start the download process, show the percentage, and then upon completion, start the UILoader movie?[code]...

I have a dynamic TextField that has the word "DEVICE" filled in in the flash IDE. If I compile and run, it works fine and I see the word correctly.
The problem is if I change the text at runtime. Depending on the word, it doesnt show up correctly, if I change the word to "CARD" I see it just fine, but if I change it back to "DEVICE" then it shows up as "DECE". It won't show the "V" and the "I"... I can't figure this one out since it works if I set it to "DEVICE" in the IDE, but doesn't work if I dynamically change it to "DEVICE"
